BURG CHILDREN.

special dispatch from Pittsburg to the Phila-
delphia Press says: The election OF Father Nc
Tighe to the school principalship OF the thirty
third ward is still the main topic Of conversation
In this city. The proposition TO introduce nuns as
teachers under Principal McTlghe has Increased
the excitement. Bishop Phelan was interviewed
Sunday afternoon. He said: II understand that
the nuns who have been teaching In the parochial
schools are, II they can pass the examination to
become teachers In the public schools. In the
parochial schools much larger number OF pupils
are assigned 10 q teacher than In a public
school, and as more teachers will be required than
there are nuns teaching in the school at present,
the extra ones are, Of course, to be secular When
Father McTfghe came 10 me for permission to
apply for the position OF principal told him that
he could not attend to his church duties and
school d1ties at the same time. He replied that
he would secure an assistant 10 attend TO the re-
ligious duties. Father McTighe would not receive
two salaries, therefore, as some suppose, as his
assistants pay would necessarily come out OF his
own pocket. The sisters In the event OF their
teaching, will receive their salaries undoubtedly
II would not 80 to the church treasury. Iwould
see TO that, for even while teaching in the paro-
chial schools sisters paid their services by
the church"

Work ana Play an . University.
lConfemporary Revisw,l


Everybody in university or any
where else needs bodily exercise; he
needs il, especially if young, il only to
keep himself in such a case as to be
capable of intellectual work. And
every man must Judge for himself what
kind OF bodily exercise best suits his
own constitution. In itself there is no
more objection to rowing on the rive-
or playing at cricket than there
il to q simple wax or ride,
bat there is O danger about
them which there is rot about the
simple walk or ride. The walk or ride
is mere exercise it cannot become a
matter of business or matter OF ex-
element; it is not looked forward to
beforehand or dwelled upon aftcrward.
The walk or the ride, too, may be
made directly helpful to many forms
Of mental improvement. Bat the
other forms OF exercise are looked for
ward to beforehand and dive led upon
afterward. And when form OF eIer-
cise or amusement becomes in this
way of business, when it becomes a
matter of serious thought. when sue
cess in it is looked on as at least
as important as any of the honors
Of the university, it hiss surely
got out of its right place. Such a pc
sition given to any fern OF mere amu.e-
ment is at least dangerous. 1t might
be too much to say that it is formally
inconsistent with real study, with real
serious worl of any kind for there
certainly are men OF strong wills and
strsng bodies who contrive to combine
the two. But for ordinary men the
combination is at least dangerous il
study and amusement clash, study is
likely to go to the wall. And again, the
balls and the play-acting, with all the
various forms Of excitement which they
lead to, are far more dangerous
than sports which are ut least forms
of healthy outdoor exercilc. But
thee is no need to sit in abstract judg-
ment on any of these forms of amuse-
ment it is enough that they arc not
wanted in university. The academic
year is less than six months long, and
those six months are not continuous.
To DO without balls and plays fer three
periods of eight weeks each is surely
no very great sacrifice, when more than
Lalf the year is left for every one to
tske his fill of them wherever else
he leases.
